Tim Oshie, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2012 when he was 50, coached one of T.J.'s youth teams and also moved with his son from Washington to Minnesota during his high school career after a divorce, according to ESPN.

The elder Oshie was able to watch his boy achieve a dream the two have had together since he began skating at 3 years old.

"To have him here is amazing," Oshie told a group of reporters. "He doesn’t travel very well. I’ve been trying to find a good way to get home out all playoffs. It was kind of the perfect storm to get him in with my aunt and sister from Seattle."
